Le Parker: Sous Chef Extraordinaire is a tough-as-nails platformer with tight touch controls crafted in the spirit of the classics we loved as kids. You play as Le Parker [Sous Chef Extraordinaire] who makes a meringue so perfect, so impossibly light, it literally floats. The lightest dessert, however, is the heaviest burden. Only Parker’s true love has the secret recipe — the Princess! But the King has his men raid her chambers! They steal Parker’s secret, harness the meringue’s immense power for evil and banish Parker from the Kingdom! Guide our hero on an epic culinary quest to rescue the princess, assemble a kitchen of secret utensils, and give the King his just desserts. Bon Voyage, Parker!
Reviews and Write-Ups:
"Head and shoulders above other App Store platformers."
MacStories
"Le Parker is one of the ones that gets just about everything right, and all the little things come together to form one amazing package."
Jared Nelson, Touch Arcade
"If you enjoy tough-as-nails games and love a test of your platforming skills, then Le Parker is one that you must check out. If you liked games like VVVVVV and RunGunJumpGun, then you will love what Le Parker: Sous Chef Extraordinaire brings to the genre. I’ve played a ton of platformers on iOS during my time here at AppAdvice, but Le Parker: Sous Chef Extraordinaire is one of the better ones I’ve found. The game is absolutely gorgeous with dreamy landscapes and endearing character models, plus the music and sounds are fun to listen to. The controls work well enough, and the game is fairly challenging, even for seasoned platformer veterans. Le Parker: Sous Chef Extraordinaire is definitely one of the better games I’ve picked up on iOS this year."

Guys, just update your devices or simply learn to live with the advantages AND disadvantages of not updating. But it's simply never the dev's fault that you cannot play the game. Thanks. Back to game: looks amazing, will get it now!

Excited to play Super Mario Run. Nintendo has common sense and lowered their requirements to iOS 8.

Also, your statement is not accurate. Developers and publishers choose the iOS requirement.

I always upgrade my device (or indeed buy a new console) when it gets that killer app or game that I can't live without - I've been racking my brains to think what made me upgrade to 9 but I genuinely can't remember, which is probably a sign that it can't have been that memorable and I should probably just click the upgrade button then just go out and buy this.

Let's PLEASE not turn this into an argument about iOS upgrading. This game deserves better than that. It's the dev's first game, so it's possible they didn't mean to make it iOS 10 only, so let's wait and hear from them before jumping to any conclusions.

It has been noted that there are folks who would like the game to be compatible with pre-iOS 10 versions, so let's just drop it now please

I apologize for feeding into the argument. The only reason why I keep iOS 9.3.4 is that you can see your friend's list and therefore see is games have GC integration before purchasing.

Hopefully this sells really well.

Same - I never meant to start an argument! I just wanted to ask if the dev was considering lowering the iOS requirements - it wasn't meant to look like a request or a complaint. Apologies for any derailments.

Back to the game: Le Parker looks amazing. Anyone got any more imps? Love that art style - it's like a far more lush Super Phantom Cat.
